An announcement is due soon apparently.

I hope that the season ticket holders don't get shafted by this membership scheme. I'd be interested to know what it is and why it hasn't come out sooner as the season starts in a months time.

So do I, but I don't think it would be anything that would affect us.

One thing I would like is an opportunity to buy an after game pass for the East Stand Lounge. I can't afford (loosely translated Mrs Halifaxjohn would not allow) to buy the meal package every week (and as I have no friends a table for one would be embarrassing) but I would like to pop in after the game a couple of times to listen to after match interviews.
However, I do understand the sponsors point of view.
Also I would like to be able to have a pint (or Four) in the South Stand Bar before taking my seat in the East Stand,

Not everyone would want that, so, perhaps a membership could be tailor made for individual requirements.

Don't want to give the amount away but I would be prepared to pay a reasonable membership fee for just those two above.

Just my thoughts.


With trepidation I await response,

I like HalifaxJohn's idea of buying a pass, but not sure it would work when the bar is often full with diners.

Hopefully all Season Ticket holders will automatically be enrolled as members, if there are benefits to signing up I'll certainly be looking at it, not in a position where a season ticket offers me the best deal so don't buy one.

That's what I meant about the sponsors point of view, which I understand.

You bought into the idea and/or actually put money down?

These sort of schemes are often a way of squeezing the pips from loyal supporters. Tread with caution.

I would think any scheme such as this is done with the intention of increasing revenue for the club. Why waste time and effort otherwise?

Directors of Football and Rugby Clubs are like Socialists, they are good at spending other peoples money.

The entrance fee for games is enough for most fans in a working class Town like Halifax.

A little extra for merchandise etc but these schemes are more often than not just a way of squeezing pips out of loyal supporters.
